So how long do you think it will take before the pirates fire up Google and buy non-fouling prop systems for their boats?
Can you explain what the benefits to the world are in constantly running away from these guys actually is especially in the context that since they began trying to do that the pirates just moved further out and away from the currently patrolled areas?
So far all I see are some ideas to go and rebuild Somalia (which has been tried and failed at extreme cost in terms of lives and money) and a bunch of non-lethal measures to ensure that the pirates are free to repeat the process on the next vessel that floats by.
If you are going to give ideas on the issue at least give ones that will solve it not simply move it to another part of the ocean because these attacks will not stop as long as:
A) Ransoms are paid.
B) There is no risk in doing it.
In the end as B increases and A reduces so the attacks will stop.
